The Big Sandy
Author: Carol Crowe-CarracoPublisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813188989
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
The Big Sandy River and its two main tributaries, the Tug and Levisa forks, drain nearly two million mountainous acres in the easternmost part of Kentucky. For generations, the only practical means of transportation and contact with the outside world was the river, and, as The Big Sandy demonstrates, steamboats did much to shape the culture of the region. Carol Crowe-Carraco offers an intriguing and readable account of this region's history from the days of the venturesome Long Hunters of the eighteenth century, through the bitter struggles of the Civil War and its aftermath, up to the 1970s, with their uncertain promise of a new prosperity. The Big Sandy pictures these changes vividly while showing how the turbulent past of the valley lives on in the region's present.
Evaluating and Conserving Green Infrastructure Across the Landscape

Book Description
This is the New York State edition of the GIC's guide to evaluating and conserving green infrastructure (GI) across the landscape. It provides an historical background to GI, as well as practical steps for creating GI maps and plans for a community. It discusses issues around evaluating green assets, public involvement in the mapping process, and the practical steps in bringing together GIS information into a useful format. It draws from twelve field tests GIC has conducted over the past six years in a diversity of ecological and political conditions, at multiple scales, and in varied development patterns – from wildlands and rural areas to suburbs, cities and towns. This guide is intended to help people make land management decisions which recognize the interdependence of healthy people, strong economies and a vibrant, intact and biologically diverse landscape. Green infrastructure consists of our environmental assets – which GIC also calls ‘natural assets’ – and they should be included in planning processes. Planning to conserve or restore green infrastructure ensures that communities can be vibrant, healthful and resilient. Having clean air and water, as well as nature-based recreation, attractive views and abundant local food, depends upon considering our environmental assets as part of everyday planning.

Drawing against oblivion
Author: Manfred BockelmannPublisher:
ISBN: 9783850337632
Category : Charcoal drawing
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
Der Künstler Manfred Bockelmann, porträtiert seit Jahren junge Menschen, die dem Nationalsozialismus zum Opfer fielen. Bockelmann möchte damit 'Zeichen gegen das Vergessen' setzen und zumindest einigen wenigen Namen und Nummern Gesichter geben, Menschen aus der Anonymität der Statistik herausheben. Die porträtierten Kinder und Jugendlichen wurden am Wiener Spiegelgrund und in den Konzentrationslagern Auschwitz-Birkenau, Theresienstadt sowie anderen zu Opfern des Nationalsozialismus. Gerade in diesen Bildern der damals so genannten 'Unreinen' zeigt sich eine reine Menschlichkeit. Der Anspruch des Künstlers, 'gegen das Vergessen' zu zeichnen, meint nicht nur diese ganz besonderen jungen Menschen, die einen Namen und eine Biografie haben, sondern zielt darauf ab, den Wert einer empathischen Mitmenschlichkeit nicht zu vergessen. Anteil zu nehmen, nicht wegzusehen, sich zu identifizieren - das ist die Botschaft.0Exhibition: Leopold Museum, Wien, Austria (17.05.-02.09.2013).
